Picked up a new (to me, although the condition is unreal) 580EX and couldn't believe how intuitive it seems. I decided to play with it a little last night and since my two youngest wanted to go to the skatepark, perfect opportunity. Background aside (there's no spot for good b/g at this park), does it look like the ambient/flash balance is on or would you suggest moving one way or another in terms of achieving a natural light look? I think this one was wide open (f2.8), shutter at 1/250s and ISO around 400 with -2/3 FEC. These are SOOC, other than a crop and small capture sharpen in DPP (RAW @ 3, yeah, I didn't even bring these into PS since they are just snapshots).
to compensate for the bad backgrounds, I tried out some of Danny Munson's panning techniques (which I am arguably, pretty poor at). I think this was 1/50s and around f8, ISO 400 with -1 FEC. Top of my head since I just pulled these low res shots from my Facebook page so there's no exif in them but I think that's about right. And yes, dad has already discussed the risks of having a butterfly tat on your cheek at the skatepark

..! Nice job.
